Answer 2

George Washington, a Virginia delegate, was unanomously elected president of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He was among those favoring a strong central government. After the convention he promoted ratification of the Constitution in Virginia. However, documents discovered in 1987 from notes made from a Georgia delegate, Abraham Baldwin who was at the convention in 1789, noted that Washington told him privately that he did not expect the Constitution to last twenty years.(S.Menzel)

Answer 3

George Washington actually had doubts about the Constitution. He was quoted as saying, "I almost despair of seeing a favorable issue to the proceedings of the convention, and do therefore repent having any agency in the business." Washington had some of the same fears as the anti-federalist of the time, but some events, such as Shay's Rebellion, showed that stronger federal backing was needed. The Articles of the Confederation did not give enough power to individual states. He agreed to preside over the Constitutional Convention. He held the attendees to a high standard. He opened the convention by telling the delegates, "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hands of God." After all thirteen states ratified the Constitution, a president was needed, and Washington was elected. He swore to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Washington is the only president in American history to receive 100% of the electoral votes.

George Washington also said that he thought that "the Constitution will last no more than 20 years."
After the Constitution was ratified, the people needed a President. George Washington received 100 percent of the electoral votes and became the first President of the United States.
